Australian ITER Forum

The Australian ITER Forum is a collection of scientists and engineers from multiple research disciplines supporting a mission oriented goal of controlled fusion as an energy source

Objectives

  • To promote an Australian involvement in ITER and articulate the benefits to Australia
  • To promote the science of fusion energy.
  • To advance the recognition of fusion science and plasma physics in the wider scientific community.
